Can Rujano still win the Giro d'Italia?
Rujano can win this Giro, believes Savio
Bob, as he is called.Jayco sign Trinity talent Robert Donaldson. 2nd in the under PR, so he could end up a classics rider. If he is good, he will soon be the leader of jayco's classic squad.
Congrats to Stites on getting a European contract.Vaughters
Getting American talent is difficult when your budget is substantially less than Inoes.He is a bit of a fraud really with a talent for self promotion and false pretences of EF being a small renegade team trying to mix it with the big boys.
It will take a lot of tail-tucked-between-the-legs to erase the decade of shameless hypocrisy and self-promotion that preceded it though.Congrats to Stites on getting a European contract.
So far, it would be unreasonable to suggest that he was ready for the WT.

As far as Vaughters, I don't see a lot of tweets on X in recent years, let alone self-promotion. (Not sure what you are referring to)
Watch him any time he appears on Eurosport/Discovery+ in the studio. Then you will understand.Congrats to Stites on getting a European contract.

Who the *** is Pablo castrillo
Pablo castillo I owe you an apology. I wasnt familiar with your game!Has this question been answered satisfactorily now?
looking forward to see him on the Asia Tour! Here's a bit about it from his Instagram:Taaramae joins Kinan for the 2025 season.
looking forward to see him on the Asia Tour! Here's a bit about it from his Instagram:
"After 17 years in the Champions League @Worldtour , it’s time for me to say « au revoir. » I feel, level here is too high for me and my body getting weaker with age, I have been following the same program for too long. It’s no longer interesting, and I don’t feel excited about this game anymore. I still love cycling, and quitting completely is not an option. I am still young enough to enjoy cycling for a few more years. I have been dreaming about the asian tour for several years now—a different racing program, new strategies, diverse cultures, and new goals. Thinking about it excites me again. So, it’s time to explore and find new motivation in a different environment, enjoy cycling life 100%…. Thank you for welcoming my Japanese 🇯🇵@kinanracingteam ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve had a wonderful 17-year career in the WT. I’ve won some races and lost most of them, participated in all kinds of events, and met many people along the way. I’ve seen different teams and eras. I am happy to move on with a smile and contentment. Thank you to everyone I’ve met and to all the teams I’ve been a part of. Good luck to everyone. From the bottom of my heart, I am deeply thankful. Let the new adventure begin in 2025!"
Let's see if de Gendt gets on board as well.
Are there any news regarding RedBull and Widar? I find it very interesting where all those talents land in the end.If there's actually a release clause of only 25000 dollars Lotto has nothing to say (and they honestly shouldve never signed him in the first place imo if that kind of release clause was needed).
Also like I said, Bora was talking to Widar (or his agents) before Avenir, so before it went wrong, and before the tantrum. Of course it could be that something already was going on behind the scenes (haven't heard anything but could be) but this sounds more like Widar complaining in the press on purpose so people won't blame him for leaving.
Also what sponsors?![]()
Aaron Gate gets his shot in the WT (Astana)
This is a surprise to me, as his contract ran out 2026 with Visma. Not had a good season, but it's not been a complete car crash so I'm surprise Visma is giving up on him already. I'm always a bit "meh" about foreign riders chosing French teams, probably I have bought into the view that French teams are a bit old fashion and behind on many things, but Ag2r have been good this year.Staune-Mittet to AG2R.
Not that they're always clued up, but the most recent Watts Occurring episode, G and Rowe were talking about how he had been linked to the team but had not actually put pen to paper and perhaps the team would regret that. I guess we will need to wait and see, otherwise there could be a good opportunity for another team to nip inWith Laurance Ineos now have 29 riders, so I assume they are full with Castrillo being announced soon.
They are down to only 7 British riders. The lowest number ever?

"With the right calendar" being a euphemism for "on the Asia Tour".Gate can score a sh*tload of points for Astana with the right calendar.
